What is your favorite "inexpensive" cigar?

I really like the Arturo Fuente Special. About a 3 dollar smoke.

Yours?




And the CAO Flavors is not bad, but prefer the AF.

Absolute best bang for the buck is the CAO La Traviata.

That cigar should be ~$10, but it's $5-ish because CAB owns the fields and self-sources the tobacco.

It's so funny that someone always asks about this cutter

I really want to give the CAO La Traviata a try.

Yes it is. Gifted to me from a friend in England.

Yes it is. It made for a hell of an introduction on the cigar forum.
